Seems long overdue for some of us engineer-types to band together and construct some sort of badass all-terrain personal conveyance. iRobot has some cool chairs that balance on their wheels and stand up, etc...something like that. With a flamethrower.

I have to wait till i get off work friday then i'm going to make this happen as well. what color you going for?

Well I was aiming for a fuscia, but so far have blonde with mauve tips - I look like johhny test with a mohawk!

My living room has officially exploded. Let's see, today I duct taped the vents in my tent, wrapped my cooler in mylar, grouped my stuff into Camelbak items, in the tent items, and items that need to stay in bins. OH! And the big one, I found a ride there and back that can haul all my stuff including the beach cruiser!!!

Printed out my boarding passes, packed everything, still kinda doing last minute packing, got all my important documents (ticket, boarding passes, car insurance) and put them in a manila folder which will be on me at all times throughout the traveling portion and then safely secured somewhere in my moms house.

SO PUMPED

AIRPORT BLOODY MARY, I CAN'T WAIT TIL YOU'RE IN MY MOUTH

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Corn tortillas... if you're cooking meals for multiples, split the pack into smaller serving size packages and seal them as tightly as possible. For one person, where you need to get out just a few? Mmmm, double bag them and don't let the cooler water get into them whatever you do.

I had a meltdown freakout last night. I couldn't find mah orange vest!!!I was about to sell my ticket. Then I found it. Right beneath my PVC pants. Fuck. I can't whether to wear the hot pants or the PVC's to the MnG.I'll entertain suggestions...

Thanks AntiM, there are 90 of them and I only need them for our camp dinner on Friday. I was going to put them in a plastic bin I got to put into the cooler and keep stuff dry. It sounds like that could work. There is already moisture in the bags though. Should I air them out before packing in cooler?

On another note, something completely weird happened at Costco yesterday:

I remember waiting for a car to pull out from a parking space, then I pulled in and parked my artcar, put the club on my steering wheel and went in to do my shopping. Came back an hour later and WTF? My car was in the parking space in front of where I'd put it, the emergency break was off and the gear was in Neutral! Did someone "joy ride" the VainVan? Nothing was taken (and there was some parking money, a phone charge, a really fancy rhinestone crown in the car.) It seems nothing was touched but the car was carefully moved. WHY? This kept me tossing and turning until 2am last night trying to understand who would do such a creepy thing?
